Collier County Fishing Reports

A little more discussion on where/how far out we are going and what fish we are targeting.

What a fantastic day fishing with friends...the crew was so helpful and fun! Would highly recommend this to anyone whether an experienced fisherman or a novice like myself.

Book with Captain Christopher with CC Custom Charters and let him show you the way

When the water starts warming up in mid-February, our Captain says more species of fish are active.

Good fishing charters and from the marina. Lots of options for catch and eat fish. Weather is changeable but the captain will keep to up to date.

I'm sure there are more plentiful seasons, but it has been a great experience for us 2 years in a row. We are out for the fun and memories, and if we get a mess of fish for the table even better- we've accomplished that 2 years in a row.

Had a great time but it certainly was hot!! Would like to try the same thing during the fall or spring.

Lots of fish all around and under us.. They just chose not to take the bait that day we went out.

Choose a vessel and trip length appropriate for your angling skills and experience, endurance, affordability, and time available. Don't expect big game on a half day trip on a big boat, and conversely don't expect comfort on a small but fast open fisherman. Most importantly, talk to your captain....tell him or her what you expect, and they'll tell you what experience they can provide.

It’s HOT. Helps if you have some kind of shade. Fishing in Captiva is great year round, but better in the cooler months!

Find a reputable & experienced company to charter your trip. Don’t set your expectations too high, fish are unpredictable. Book a full day trip, this will get you further out in the ocean where the bigger fish are at.

I recommend Captain Jason Fiora from TackleBox Fishing Charters if you want to catch fish!

Book a fishing experience with Cap'n Joe and Matt; you will truly enjoy your trip!!!

I'm not an expert, but I think Fort Myers would have something to offer year round.

The area is absolutely beautiful! Great fishing, great scenery and best of all, no mosquitos in March.

Charter a trip with someone who knows the waters first. You'll learn a lot.

As firsttime Cape Coral fishermen in December we enjoyed the comfort of the larger boat we booked.

Fish were not biting this day but just great to hang out with a fun crew and good friends.

Had a fantastic time with Capt Paul and Kelly! Caught a lot of small fish; the large ones just weren't biting.

Yes very good capt. Jim, excellent first mate. One complait,is only 2 grouper per person. That's not very much and having to go out 20 miles .this is not the charters fault it is the state rules.
